Hmm... I can't find your previous email, but I now notice there are
2 differences in the above lines.  I focused on the `how' argument to
font-lock-add-keywords, but the other important one is that

   (font-lock-add-keywords
    nil `((,(regexp-quote "{++") . '(face cm-addition-face read-only t))) t)

should be

   (font-lock-add-keywords
    nil `((,(regexp-quote "{++") (0 '(face cm-addition-face read-only t)))) t)

because the (REGEXP . FACE) form only works if FACE is a non-list sexp.
